REAL MEN DON'T REHEARSE is the funniest book you'll ever read about orchestras and classical music! This is what it's really like to play in a professional orchestra. Unlike the usual high-minded approach, this is a laugh-out-loud look at the culture of the certifiably insane people who play notes for a living. Makes the perfect gift for that music lover on your list!
"'Real Men Don't Rehearse' paints a lively picture of what goes on behind
the scenes at a major symphony orchestra. Anybody who thinks that all
classical musicians are stuffy and lack a sense of humor will be set
straight by this rambunctious book."
--Peter Schickele ("curator" of "PDQ Bach")
Real Men Don't Rehearse is now globally distributed and can be ordered through any retail bookseller in the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia. You can also buy the Japanese version.
